Every first Friday of August, a unique and fascinating event takes place at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It’s called “Sabor,” a grand gastronomic show and multicultural fundraising festival organized by the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (CHCC). With over 3,000 attendees, Sabor offers an unforgettable cultural experience where visitors can explore the gardens, taste a wide selection of beverages, and enjoy cuisine from over 40 restaurants, all while being delighted by live Latin music.

Sabor’s purpose goes beyond being a simple event. This celebration serves as a valuable platform to foster connections and raise awareness about diverse businesses and organizations contributing to Colorado’s rich and diverse Hispanic community. Inclusion and understanding of the multifaceted Hispanic market are fundamental to Sabor, which aims to celebrate the culture and contributions of the Hispanic community in Colorado.

Vibrant flavors from Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba, Spain, the United States, and various regions of Mexico blend in an exquisite fusion of beers, horchata, Malbec wines, pisco tastings, tequila, palomas, micheladas, rums, and much more. In addition to the delicious treats, live music stirs the soul with captivating melodies of tango, mariachi, salsa, flamenco, and other Latin styles.

Once again, Sabor has the honor of welcoming outstanding cultural groups from various countries. For the first time at the festival, the enchanting sound of the Guatemalan Marimba will resonate in the gardens, taking attendees on a musical journey through Central America. Additionally, the talented Venezuelan cuatro player, Henry Linarez, known for his artistry and virtuosity on the cuatro, a traditional Venezuelan instrument, will also be performing.
